About the Organization

The KALeB 20/20 Youth Foundation is a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) whose vision is to revolutionize and improve lives through education, personal development and maximization of our youth’s God-given potential. Our goal is to develop socially relevant community programs to aid in the discipline and development of our nation’s youth. The foundation emphasizes values-based judgment and uses practical means of embedding reflexive responses in youths that do not yield to peer pressure, gang violence or wrongful patterns which exist in their environment.

 

Project Description

  • Academic Support Program (ASP) to High School/ Secondary School Students.
 

Project Goal
